Marianne Williamson quickly became the most searched candidate in last night's debate, according to data from Google
The Democratic field’s heavy hitters dominated the debate stage Thursday night, but it was a spiritual, self-help guru who got a nitro shot of national attention.
“I’ll tell you one thing, it’s really nice if we’ve got all these plans, but if you think we’re going to beat Donald Trump by just having all these plans, you’ve got another thing coming,” she argued. “Because he didn’t win by saying he had a plan. He won by simply saying Make America Great Again. We’ve got to get deeper than just these superficial fixes, as important as they are.”
Williamson found her footing in a line of attack on the conditions of migrant detention centers along the border, accusing the Trump administration of carrying out “state-sponsored” kidnapping and abuse of migrant children. She also drew laughter for dinging the youngest candidates on stage over their push for generational change.And when the candidates were polled on the first thing they would do as president, Williamson broke from the rest of the field by offering an unexpected answer.
“You're a lamp; God is the electricity. You're a faucet; God is the water. You're a human; God is the divine within you. ALLOW the flow. #fb,” Williamson tweeted in March 2010.
